Waves chords by The Dear Hunter

Chords with lyrics

The Dear Hunter's unreleased song "Waves" from the upcoming Act IV. I tabbed this from a
couple of different Youtube videos of Casey playing the song.

A augmentedA few things to note:

-There are a few lyrics that I may have transcribed incorrectly. It's kind of hard to
hear from the live videos. If you have corrections please comment.
-Pretty much any A minorAm chord can be replaced with an Am7Am7 chord. It sounds great, but I
can't tell if it is exactly what Casey is playing or not.
-Same goes for FF and Fmaj7Fmaj7 chords. Either one will work and sound good.
-Capo should be on 1 or 2, Casey plays it both ways.


A minorAm           C majorC
I thought that I knew love
C majorC              G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7
but it was just the wave crashing over us
A minorAm          C majorC
and in the breaths between the ones we meant to breath
     G+G       Fmaj7Fmaj7
I had my head under my feet

FF             G+G
you knew the way things were
FF              G+G
you knew the way they would be
FF        G+G   A minorAm
we knew exactly how it'd end

A minorAm    C majorC
oh oh oh oh oh
C majorC         G+G    Fmaj7Fmaj7
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

A minorAm         C majorC
strays on a stable sea
C majorC               G+G    Fmaj7Fmaj7
i'll anchor the engine to a canyon far beneath(?)
A minorAm          C majorC
the water rushed up from the boards below
C majorC            G+G       Fmaj7Fmaj7
so i started slicking my hair with the kerosene

FF             G+G
you knew the way things were
FF           G+G
you knew the way they would be
FF        G+G    A minorAm
we knew exactly how it'd end

C majorC                 A minorAm
And I'm preparing for a burial at sea
Fmaj7Fmaj7          G+G  C majorC
and I can't see the lighthouse
C majorC                       A minorAm
yeah I'm praying that these waters don't take me
Fmaj7Fmaj7           G+G  A minorAm
cause I can't see the lighthouse

A minorAm    C majorC
oh oh oh oh oh
  C majorC      G+G     Fmaj7Fmaj7
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
A minorAm       C majorC
oh oh oh oh oh oh
C majorC       G+G   A minorAm
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

FF
I was screaming that the ship was sinking
A minorAm
but you were telling me to just keep drinking
G+G
quartered in the parts again (?)
A minorAm
arms and legs in the bottom of the ocean
FF
and the thing that made it so much harder
A minorAm
is the fact that you were someones daughter

FF            G+G
I knew the way things were
FF             G+G
I knew the way they would be
 FF       G+G    C majorC
I knew exactly how it'd end


C majorC          A minorAm


Fmaj7Fmaj7          G+G  C majorC
And I can't see the lighthouse
C majorC                 A minorAm
and I'm preparing for a burial at sea
Fmaj7Fmaj7          G+G  C majorC
but I can't see the lighthouse
C majorC                       A minorAm
yeah I'm praying that these waters don't take me
Fmaj7Fmaj7          G+G  A minorAm
cause I can't see the lighthouse

A minorAm           C majorC
I thought that I knew love
C majorC             G+G     A minorAm
